48 Photos : Week 1 Sultry Self-Portrait

By

48 photos for the whole year sounds fun and I must say a great challenge for me as well. This year I have committed a challenge and joined 48 photos Kim of Mom On Duty and Camille of Lollies And Lipsticks Challenge. I am not good in taking photos for one, I don’t know technical terms with regards to SLRs and I can only take photos if someone (Boboy) sets the right mode for me, other than that no more! He has been teaching me how to use manual mode all the time but I keep forgetting it too!

For the self – portrait, ever since I thought of having a solitude concept but when I became a mom, I was already lost in the modeling world.  Today’s portrait is a mixture of sultry and solitude concept. But because my kind of idea was so hard to pull off alone, I had to ask for a back up. We set up our room and placed a dark backdrop with improvised LED lights to serve as a catch light. I am not good in lighting as well I only know well the feeling of posing in front of cameras and seeing too many halos from the lights that surrounds me. For my make up, I made a smokey eye and nude lipstick for my sultry look.

Here is my sultry and solitude portrait.

Photo taken with Nikon D7000 and 85mm lens.
It was also PP due to some unnecessary shadows on my face.



Here is the list of the concepts for the 48 photos challenge.


Let me know what you think and I will see you again in the next photo on Friday!

Myra Ultimate Dietary Supplement Review

Health is wealth. I have said this countless times to my children and everyone else. Now this pandemic reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves more since we are battling a virus. Aside from exercise, healthy food, and vitamins that we take everyday, we also need to take care of our skin. Even though we are at home most of the time, we must not neglect the protective layer of our body. I learned skin care through my mom who was health conscious too. She would take vitamins and supplements of all sorts and strictly follow a skin care routine day and night. She is my biggest influence when it comes to taking care of myself. I learned that in order for us to have a good glowing skin, it should start from within.  I came across Myra a few years back at a drugstore when I started working and began taking their Vitamin E supplement. Now they Myra Ultimate, a new product that I tried and here are my thoughts. One week of taking it, I noticed a significant change in the glow of my...

Purple Fairy Cosmetics Review x Giveaway

If kilay is life, liptint is life also for me. There was a phase in my life where I'd hoard every new lipstick in the market. But suddenly, I grew tired of it. BOO.   When I purchased my first liptint and knew how versatile it was for a busy mom like me, I had already a thing for liptints. In a span of a year, I bought several local and foreign brands and of course there were mixed emotions about it. There is just something about it that tells me still, they do belong to the same mother but unique in every way.  It is about time for me to throw some of it because I have been using it beyond six months already. Do not get me wrong though, I store my liptints in a cold and dry place (refrigerator) that is why, I could still use it beyond it's shelf life. Now it's time to hunt for a new local brand when suddenly I came across the owner of the brand I have been eyeing to try for the longest time.  Anyway, so much for blabbing here and let's get to the review...
